Police reportedly obtained a warrant for a DNA sample, which proved with nearly 100 percent certainty that he was the father. The victim reportedly chose to abort the pregnancy.
From Greenlee’s report:

The teen girl’s mother told police she bought a pregnancy test and confronted her daughter in October after seeing her daughter acting strangely. The mother said her daughter began crying, saying she had had sex with Rhaheed-Muhammad.
The girl said she was 11 when Rhaheed-Muhammad began touching her inappropriately. She said when they had sex in June 2013, Rhaheed-Muhammad “did not force himself on her and that it just happened.”
​

Rhaheed-Muhammad plays linebacker for Fort Pierce (Fla.) Central High School
A spokesperson for Louisville told WPTV that coach Bobby Petrino had been made aware of the situation.

What the hell

1st strike - she's his cousin
2nd strike - she's 14
3rd strike - don't need one, this ain't baseball

he's a sick (sick as in nauseating) individual that needs to be locked up. yes, according to the girl, it was consensual, but that still doesn't make it right.

Takes the phrase "keeping it in the family" to a new level...

Sounds like he'll fit right in at Louisvegas.

Her consent is irrelevant if she is underage, but I don't know what the consent age is in Kentucky. I get the feeling it's probably in the single digits ..

 

[JoshB]

Age of consent in Kentucky is 16.

 

[PhillyGirl]

Age of consent in Kentucky is 16.

So basically, even if she said yes, it's still illegal, aye? You know, on top of everything else wrong with this train wreck of a story.

Kentucky statutes wouldn't apply since he is in school in Florida. All eyes are on "I'm a changed man" Petrino to see how this is handled scholly wise.

I thought this only happened in Alabama?
